This interactive map demonstrates the following skills:
- Displaying data on an interactive map
Isochrone map of travel time to Allston Village
This map has been cleaned up in Illustrator because it was included in my team’s midterm presentation.
It demonstrates the following skills:
- Displaying multiple vector layers on the same map
- Calculating and displaying accessibility, based on travel time
Raster map of accessibility in Greater Boston
This map shows accessibility an accessibility score based on an continuous distance-decay function of the walking time to the nearest transit stop, decreasing exponentially with distance.
It demonstrates the following skills:
- Converting between raster layers and vector layers
- Displaying raster data on a map
